}}{{nihongo|'''''Hokuto no Ken 4 : Shichisei Hakenden: Hokuto Shinken no Kanata e'''''|北斗の拳4　七星覇拳伝　北斗神拳の彼方へ||which roughly translates to ''Fist of the North Star 4: Legend of the Conquering Fist of the Seven Stars - Beyond Hokuto Shinken''}} is the fourth ''Hokuto no Ken'' video game released by [[Toei Animation]] and developed by Shouei System for the Family Computer, released on March 29, 1991. It is second of three role playing games based on the series produced by Toei, following the [[Hokuto no Ken 3 (Family Computer game)|previous game]] in the series. The story takes place in the 21st century, several years after the conclusion of the original, in which a new generation of martial artists seeks to follow the foot-steps of [[Kenshiro]] and his rivals, and save from its third dark age.

The world was engulfed in darkness for the third time sometime during the 21st century. With the engulfment of darkness came the spread of evil and with the spread of evil, order collapsed, and a dark age where only might makes right returned. Kenshiro, the master of Hokuto Shin Ken and man once known as the Savior of Century's End, is nowhere to be found for some reason. However, there's a young man who now follows the path of a martial artist...

*{{nihongo|[[Misshu|Missyu]]|ミッシュ|Misshu}} - A mysterious warrior who has mastered [[Gento Kō Ken]]. He is actually the son of [[Falco]] and [[Myū]].

* {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:The Wonderful World of Puss 'n Boots|Pero the Puss in Boots]]|長靴を履いたネコ　ペロ|Nagagutsu o Haita Neko Pero}}

* {{nihongo|Meld|メルド|Merudo}}

*{{nihongo|Dekan|デカン}} - A former member of [[Jagi]]'s biker gang who was taught some basic techniques from the fallen Hokuto brother. As such, Dekan's skill is above ordinary thugs and average martial artists, ruling over the town of Monpasa with an ironfist. Dekan is eventually killed by the hero, a true Hokuto practitioner.

*The Hero is allowed to be given a four character name in [[wikipedia:hiragana|hiragana]] when starting a new game, with the exception of {{nihongo||かぜまる|Kazemaru}}, which is reserved for a different party member. However, instead of displaying a proper error message, it will return the out of context text {{nihongo|"Kuroyasha has acquired XX points of sorrow"|くろやしゃは　XXポイントの　かなしみを　せおった。|Kuroyasha wa XX pointo no kanashimi o seotta.|with "XX" being misplaced graphic tiles}}.
